Gemini horoscope prediction February 2012

Jessica Adams, Cosmo's psychic astrologer reveals what the stars have in store for Virgo in February 2012…

Your colleague, boss, employee, lecturer, client or fellow student will be there with you on Wednesday February 1st in terms of your aspirations to go higher. You may be a professional, student or volunteer but your mountain top is closer then. From Friday February 3rd Neptune is in your Tenth House, which will alter the look and feel of your career, university life or volunteer role for the next few years. And that is the understatement of the month.
Gemini, give yourself time to adapt to the odd new 'reality' of your life as this is entirely new and there is no handbook. Basically, Neptune lets you know that there are other worlds out there, apart from the one you used to smell and touch. And it can be awfully tempting to just dive in and lose yourself. You can read more on Neptune's impact on your life at The Astrology Show.

Neptune was discovered in the same year they pioneered anaesthetic, which should give you an idea about the new unreality which lies ahead! A lot of what is about to change for you professionally, or as a volunteer, or as a student, falls into the category of 'Comfortably Numb' to quote Pink Floyd. It's a way of escaping the all-too-obvious and all-too-difficult.
Neptune is the dominant factor in terms of your mission, ambition or position on February 14th, 15th, 16th. A chain of aspects in the heavens suggests an awful lot will impact you very rapidly. It may be a new job or project, or the arrival of new people. That week of Monday 13th is important, no matter how Neptune manifests. Classically, he will come disguised as a Pisces person, or as someone whose eyes are unfocussed in some way! The people who are around you then may have vision problems, or thick glasses, or coloured contact lenses. They may drink or smoke so much they can't actually see straight (distorted perception or a cloud of cigarette smoke). There are other characteristic Neptune/Piscean signals too. People with unfocussed, staring eyes. People whose field of vision lies far away from yours, in the direction of some unseen, other world. You get the picture. The out of focus person, is in focus, in the middle of this month!

There will be a binding discussion or some paperwork at that point because Mercury is there too, or some solid news which makes a difference. Chiron is also on board so there is a strong feeling that there are no boundaries any more. Chiron is the centaur who always reminds us that there are no limits until they are tested and proven. Mid-February, in terms of your job, academic life or non-profit role seems to be all "Wow!" with a little bit of "Wheee!"
The New Moon on Tuesday February 21st seems to be a signal for a decision, but you must allow for Neptune and Chiron, which are accompanying big new questions about what is solid, what is real, what is possible, what is practical. This question will be repeated on Friday 24th, Saturday 25th. After that, Mercury, your planetary ruler, will be retrograde shadow. So from around the week of the 27th be aware that so-called absolutes from the 27th may not be fixed. Plan accordingly, as once Mercury actually goes retrograde from Monday March 12th, there are no absolutes at all – just a process, with a lot of change involved. This is hugely important if there is paperwork involved.

The golden rule with Mercury is to read the fine print and keep back-ups in terms of your career, university life or volunteer commitments. This is the case even on Tuesday 28th, when Fortuna, the Sun, Pluto and the Moon's Nodes align so strongly in your chart. It may seem as if the impetus is there, to proceed with this new, rather fascinating phase in your professional, academic or other life. Mercury when he is retrograde shadow is at his trickiest, though, as he gives the illusion that conversations are reliable or decisions are binding, when in fact, his retrograde motion to come, may well reverse or delay everything. Bear this in mind if you are committing, as you need to know about all the variables and remember all the permutations which are possible!
Note: Neptunian projects or jobs may well slide into view in February. These will classically involve the ocean, music, alcohol or drugs of all kinds. Or you could combine them by accepting a gig at a bar on a cruise liner. Truly.

Okay so now you're acquainted with what Neptune seems likely to bring in your career or other calling – let's look at how his departure from Aquarius will help you reach dry land. For years now, you have had Neptune keeping life floaty and rather unmanageable, in terms of your role as student, traveller, lecturer, publisher, teacher or writer. In that category I would also include your role as an internet citizen and a woman/man of the world in touch with other cultures and countries.

For every dreamy moment when you immersed yourself in places, ideas or people where you got to leave the real world behind, you were also baffled and befuddled. Well, no more. You are back on dry land from the 3rd and it looks as if Tuesday February 7th is a hell of a moment. At last, you are living in the real world with other nationalities, other cultures, academia, ideas, websites or publications . I expect the Full Moon on Tuesday February 7th will pull you in two different directions, especially if you are one of those Geminis who also has heavenly bodies in Cancer. (It's very common – check your chart at www.astro.com if you don't know).

The Sun-Mercury conjunction also on the 7th is so useful for you, though, as you are Mercury-ruled. It enables you to articulate, to question, to discover – on a level not possible for years. This will make an epic difference to your future plans to travel, study, teach, write or publish. Or your plans to handle people from other cultures or countries in a new way.

Do you want to know what it has been like to operate with Neptune in your Ninth House for all these years? One way to understand it, is to wake up without it constantly in your field of vision! On Saturday February 18th you honestly will have the benefit of seeing your new travel, publishing or academic reality as others see it too. This alone is the wake-up call, perhaps. But nobody would be surprised, out there in the world of astrology, to hear that February coincides with the departure of a person or situation which has fogged up your lenses for months, even years.
Perhaps there is an American, Asian or European connection there. Maybe this is just about a particular belief system, mindset or philosophy, which has touched you via the books on your shelves or the websites stored on your computer. In all cases, the de-mister you needed for the windscreen of your life is fully functional after years of neglect. This is going to have a huge impact on your future plans to travel, write, publish, teach or study.
